The Cure

Experience The Cure, a new psychological horror film written by Butlersbridge man Sean Connolly and starring Cavan's Fiona Fitzpatrick alongside Leitrim/Cavan's Seamus O'Rourke.

Blending traditional Cavan folklore with the modern struggle of addiction, The Cure follows Aoife, an insecure smoker desperate to quit. Returning home to Cavan, she seeks out Liam Finnegan, a reclusive seventh son of a seventh son renowned for possessing the gift of “The Cure.” But when Liam's attempt to help goes disastrously wrong, Aoife's addiction takes on a terrifying physical form a sinister creature that feeds on her cravings and threatens to consume her entirely.

As her living addiction tightens its grip, Aoife is forced to confront both the monster before her and the depths of her own dependency.

Premiering in Cavan before embarking on the national and international film festival circuit, The Cure is a gripping and thought-provoking Irish horror that shines a light on addiction, its psychological grip, and the challenges faced by those trying to break free.

This screening is presented as part of the Cultúr 2026 Programme and is co-funded by Creative Cavan and Cavan Arts Office.
